An Introduction to Applied Linguistics provides a comprehensive overview of the field, covering key issues and recurrent themes. This third edition has been updated with new chapters on Multilingualism and Forensic Linguistics, as well as revised sections on Psycholinguistics, Language Learners, Reading, and Assessment. The book is divided into three main areas: language description and use, essential areas of enquiry, and the four skills and testing. It features 17 extended surveys of central elements of Applied Linguistics, along with hands-on activities and further reading sections to encourage practical analysis and wider reading. With its accessible style and broad coverage, this book is ideal for students of applied linguistics, TESOL, and second language pedagogy, as well as practicing teachers and researchers looking to update their knowledge. With its co-edited approach by two leading international specialists, this textbook offers a practical focus that makes it suitable for those seeking to apply theoretical concepts in real-world contexts.
